PM Modi's target of net zero by 2070 needs to achieved by collective efforts of all: CM Yogi Adityanath

UP CM Yogi Adityanath emphasizes public participation in achieving PM Modi's 2070 net zero target while addressing sustainable development and disaster relief.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured the world that India will achieve the target of net zero by 2070. – Yogi Adityanath"

Lucknow, May 22

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday inaugurated the National Seminar-2025 on 'Harmony with Nature and Sustainable Development'.

The CM stated that the task of achieving the country's goal of net zero by 2070 could not just be fulfilled at the government level but required the collective efforts of everyone.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured the world that India will achieve the target of net zero by 2070. But the task of achieving this target is not just at the government level but through the collective efforts of all of us... Today, a national seminar has also been organised here regarding this program, after which the vision is how we can create harmony with nature and ensure sustainable development..." Yogi said addressing the people.

Meanwhile, earlier today, the CM directed officials of concerned districts to carry out relief work with full promptness in view of storms, rain, and hailstorms, as per a release.

The CM has stated that officials should visit the affected areas, conduct surveys, and closely monitor the relief efforts.

In cases of loss of human or animal life due to lightning, storms, or rain-related disasters, immediate distribution of relief funds should be ensured to the affected families. Proper medical treatment should be provided to the injured.

Instructions have also been sent to officials to assess crop damage through surveys and send reports to the government so that further action can be taken. He further directed that in case of waterlogging, proper arrangements for drainage should be made on a priority basis.

Earlier on May 21, Yogi Adityanath reviewed the current status of COVID-19 in Uttar Pradesh in light of the emerging global and national concerns surrounding the latest JN.1 subvariant.

The Chief Minister reassured the public that there is no immediate cause for concern in the state; however, he emphasised that, given the global context, vigilance and precaution remain essential.

According to the official release, Chief Minister Adityanath noted that the Central government has issued no new advisory regarding COVID-19. Still, considering the rising number of JN.1 cases in Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong, he stressed the need for continued surveillance in Uttar Pradesh. He instructed all medical colleges, district hospitals, and health units across the state to remain on high alert and be fully prepared to handle any potential emergency.

Net zero by 2070 is a bold vision! But we need more concrete steps at ground level - especially in UP where pollution levels are alarming. Solar energy adoption in villages should be priority. CM Yogi's focus on relief work during disasters is commendable though 👏

Good to see climate action getting attention! But what about plastic waste management in our cities? Every monsoon, drains get clogged with plastic. Before talking about 2070, can we solve today's basic environmental issues? #CleanIndiaFirst

The relief work instructions show good governance. Last year when hailstorms destroyed our crops in Bareilly, compensation reached late. Hope this system improves. On net zero - farmers need subsidies for solar pumps to contribute to green energy goals.

Why only seminars? We need action! My children suffer from asthma due to Lucknow's air pollution. Plant more trees, improve public transport. The COVID alertness is good but environment needs same urgency. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

Climate change is real bhai log! Just see how unpredictable weather has become - extreme heat then sudden storms. Net zero target is good but 2070 seems too far. Can we have 5-year milestones? Also appreciate CM's proactive approach on disaster management.

As a young Indian, I'm worried about our environmental future. Seminars are good for awareness but where are the green jobs? We need skill development in renewable energy sector. The COVID vigilance shows government can act swiftly - apply same speed to climate action!
